Ryan on the day: “This is great, I am so happy to be here, this is a fantastic series, it is challenging and I am proud to have another win under my belt.  My engineer Will Phillips gave me a great car, the Herdez crew gave me perfect pitstops and I did my part in the race, we deserve to be on top.  Our re-starts were awesome the whole race long. My car was so good, I was concerned with
traffic but I had a very strong car under me.”
